The scene transitions to inside the coffee shop. Katal and Lincoln already have their drinks. Katal has a Somatic Smoothie, while Lincoln has a Gyral Ground Cappuccino (though a Gyral Ground can be made into any coffee related drink. EG: Latte, Macchiato, etc.). Some smooth jazz is playing in the background as some atmospheric ambiance. Perhaps someone, in another time, hears the rain. It really is falling, somewhere else. Katal finally talks to him.

"So, you've been busy, huh?" Katal says as she gestures to the center of the room, which is filled not only with Lincolns and Linkas, but with several fictional characters from all forms of media! Comic books, video games, tv shows, literature, anything you can name, it can be here.

"Yeah, I like all forms of entertainment." Lincoln responds. He then asks about what happened with Ranvier.

"What's with that guy at the station?"

"Oh, Ranvier is the one who runs the entire station. He might consider Americans substandard compared to him, but he is surprisingly nice once you get to know him. He might be like your predecessor's character in that regard."

"Spongebob?"

"No, Squidward."

"Ok. So, you can speak French?" Lincoln enquires to her

"Yes, but I prefer English. The only Greek words I know are my name, and the names of 3 of my sisters. Ranvier also speaks English, though he considers English an unclean tongue, that's why he mostly speaks French." Katal explains

"I noticed that Ranvier called you Kaitlin, is that your name?" Lincoln queries

"No, my name really is Egkataleipsisphobia. Kaitlin is just a nickname. Kat and Kate are also nicknames you can use to refer to me." Katal assures him

"Oh."

Suddenly, a Hispanic man with spiky black hair and a red-orange suit is seen at the counter. He looks to be about 27…but why does he look and sound so familiar…

"The usual, Mr. Armando?" The barista comments

He nods his head.

"Here you go, a "Moonless Night", a coffee blacker than a soul."

Mr. Armando takes the coffee and sips it. It tastes like broken dreams. Truly, this is what coffee should taste like, bitter. He's about to leave the coffee shop when he notices Katal and Lincoln. He goes over to their table to offer them some helpful advice.

"Hey, you're the famous defense attorney, Diego Armando, aren't you? The one who likes the coffee, right? My brother is your biggest fan!"

"Well, glad to hear it, little one."

"I heard from someone that you're training a new attorney? Is that true?"

"No, my boss is the one who's training the newbie, she's just shadowing me during the trial."

"I read about that somewhere, is this the Fawles case?"

"Sounds like you know your stuff. Anyway, I just came here to enjoy this fantastic brew before the trial begins, so I will have to bid both of you farewell." Mr. Armando says as he leaves the coffee shop

"Wow, I didn't know you were an Ace Attorney fan!" Lincoln notes

"I'm not, but my brother is, he told me all about it. It's actually an interesting series. So, now I wanted to talk to you." Katal states

"What about?"

"Your sisters. You love them and they love you, right?"

"Yes, of course!"

"And you would do anything so that they won't get hurt."

"Go on…"

Suddenly, an awesome rock remix of The Loud House's intro theme overrides the smooth jazz playing on the jukebox. A bearded middle-aged man walks over to the counter, but the camera angles show him sauntering over in a badass stride instead of walking like a normal person. His brown hair looks like it's a modified Ivy League haircut. He sports an awesome mustache-beard combo. For someone who looks like he's 46, he looks amazing. Finally approaching the counter, he notices that the people are looking at him like royalty and urges them to stop.

"What would you like, sir?" The barista asks

"How about a c2 coffee, basomedial, with extra amy (pronounced ah-me), 2 synapses, 3 sulci and with a dollop of white matter?" The man stated

"Ok, here's your medium roast Cerebral Cortex Coffee, with extra almonds, 2 sugars, 3 creams, with whipped cream on top."

She hands the coffee, which is a macchiato at this point, and hands it to the man. He drinks it and likes it.

Lincoln looks at the man and begins to speak to Katal about him.

"Do you know who that is?" Lincoln exclaims

"No, who?"

"That's Chris Savino! The guy who probably made the storyboards for your favorite childhood cartoons. But I think he has a super popular show on Nickelodeon called The Loud House airing right now. At this point, he's pretty much a god!"

"Ok, he might be an amazing cartoonist, but a god? I think that's an exaggeration."

"He drew Lincoln Loud."

"He really is a god!"

"We are not worthy to be in Chris Savino's presence! He also helped save Nickelodeon by making said show!"

Both of them watch in reverential awe as the creator of the Loud House finishes his macchiato and leaves the shop. The jazz music replays itself from the jukebox.

"No way! We saw THE Chris Savino in this coffee shop!" Both of them squeal in excitement toward each other

"Anyway, back to our conversation. I think you should stop hanging out with your sisters." Katal states

"WHAT?!"

"Don't you see that if you continue to interact with them, the more you'll grow attached to them. If that happens, you'll be hurt once they leave you, or you leave them. The best thing to do is sever all ties with them…it's for the best…"

"I'd never do that!"

"We'll see if you still say the same thing in 8 years."

"My sisters wouldn't abandon me, and I wouldn't abandon them!"

"Here is an Undertale quote that I'm sure you'll know. "Love is a way of measuring someone's capacity to hurt." The more you love someone, the harder it is for you to let go. The more painful it will be once they leave you."

"No, I don't believe you!"

"Lincoln, I'm just trying to stop them from hurting you, and you from hurting them. If you have no relationship with your sisters, the less you will hurt when they leave you. Sure, they'll hang out with you now, but once they move out of the house, and move on with their lives, you'll be nothing but a memory to them, and vice versa."

"I believe that they wouldn't!"

"Ugh, you're so stubborn! If you really want to fight me on this, go to the Basolateral Amygdala and convince me otherwise! I don't want to hurt you, I even wanted to be friends with you, but if it's the only way to get it through your thick skull that they'll abandon you within 8 years, then so be it!" Katal exclaimed

Katal leaves the coffee shop and heads to the Synapse Station in the Cerebrum, she sets the destination to the Basolateral Amygdala. Lincoln chases after her and heads there, too. Both of them travel through the synapse and arrive at the Basolateral Amygdala. It seems like a battle is about to happen soon…

Author's Note: "Tsuki ga nai yoru yori mo kuroku, jigoku sonomono yori mo atsuku nigai… sore wa kōhīda." Mr. Armando's famous monologue about coffee, said on October 13, 2018. The name of the coffee he drinks refers to a description of his beloved beverage. Also, it's ironic; Egkataleipsisphobia's nicknames: Kat, Kate and Kaitlyn all have a harsh "K" sound, whereas the "K" in Egkataleipsisphobia is silent. When Chris Savino orders his drink, he uses hash house lingo, not unlike a certain morbidly obese fish in a certain awesome episode of everyone's favorite porifera. At least Chris Savino's order is possible to drink, unlike Bubble Bass' order which is 24 all beef well-done patties cooked in mustard with all toppings (bun, patty, ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions, lettuce, cheese, tomato, bun, in that order) in between the layers of this icositetruple Dagwood sandwich! Replace the buns with 2 layers of lightly buttered and jellied toast on each layer, add extra onions and extra special sauce on each layer, and a small orange juice on the side.

Back to Chris Savino, he's just a normal dude in Lincoln's subconscious, but both Katal and Lincoln revere him as if he were a god. Which to them, he kind of is, since he drew everyone. It seems Katal's intentions are revealed, but... she really is trying to protect Lincoln...but Lincoln doesn't see it that way. But who's right? Do you love someone so much, that you'll be able to endure the heartbreak of them leaving? Even if it's for the best for both of you?

Also, since Egkataleipsisphobia is a part of Lincoln's consciousness, he's technically arguing with himself.
